Bryan Adams Says Own GRAMMY Win Doesn’t Contend With Seeing Whitney

Bryan Adams won a GRAMMY in 1992, but he’s never really thought of it as much of an accomplishment.

The singer-turned-photographer earned the statue for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media thanks to his song “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” from the 1991 movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner. Adams, who wasn’t even there to accept it, told Radio.com it’s a “wooden spoon GRAMMY.”

“I mean it’s nice to get a GRAMMY, I won’t knock it, but we got it for Best Song in a Film,” he said. “It’s not like Best Performance or Rock Vocal or Songwriter, it’s just ‘nice song from a film guys.’”

Though Adams made jokes about his own award, which he keeps in his office, he does have fond memories of attending the show.
